Overwhelmed, Confused and Feeling very alone.

Elric98

Hello, First off I just want to say hello to everyone am not really sure how to proceed now so Ill just lay it out.

I have been told am Autistic, but am still waiting for my letter from Hill House In birmingham that gose into more detail. I was told the basics and sent on my merry way. am a 40 yr old male and really I don't know what this means in my day to day life or what's going on to tell you the truth. Am more confused now than I was before I went. My CPN says I can't get help from them so I really dont know were to turn or to help myself am fealing VERY overwhelmed and confused. so I have a few questions if I may.

1. Were do  I go from here.

2. Is there help out there for me to help myself.

3. Is this normal fealing wise and experance wise.

  • Hi - welcome to the group.

    I'm still waiting for my diagnosis, so I can't speak from personal experience yet, but there are lots of very helpful people in this group. Hopefully you'll get the answers you need. I have noticed (from other people's forum posts) that feeling overwhelmed/confused after a diagnosis is very common, so I'd say these feelings you're having are normal.

    Try looking at Purple Ella's videos on YouTube - she shares her experiences on day-to-day life with autism and has lots of good advice.
